Should the OEE be calculated in the maintenance system (CMMS/EAM), in production tracking systems (MES, ERP), in monitoring systems (IoT based, SCADA, PLC, DCS)? Or perhaps in an external system based on data from multiple sources either automatically or manually input? There is no right or wrong answer, it all depends on your current needs, situation, and IT landscape.

In the past month, Siveco China participated in multiple events to raise awareness and foster discussions with industrial counterparts on the role of O&M and O&M technologies in ensuring sustainability. Here is a quick recap.

The Belt & Road Forum for International Cooperation celebrating the 10th anniversary of this initiative has ended. 140 countries gathered in Beijing to promote high-quality infrastructures, green development, to advance scientific innovation and international cooperation. Siveco China is proud to have played a role in numerous Belt & Road projects in the past 10 years.

Siveco China is proud to have contributed to many Belt & Road projects, using Smart O&M to ensure maintenance readiness, optimize lifecycle costs and promote sustainability in critical infrastructures. This article provides an overview of some of our projects.

This article is written for infrastructure or plant owners contracting with Chinese EPC companies for projects outside of China. Chinese builders have come to dominate the global infrastructure market along the “Belt and Road”, the loosely defined “New Silk Road” of infrastructure-driven development across nearly 140 countries.

For EPC companies, Chinese and international, O&M preparation, the Smart O&M or CMMS system, can provide a key differentiator during the tendering process. It is also an important deliverable in the project, to ensure O&M handover and maintenance preparedness.
